Skeleton Giving a Jack-o'-Lantern a Big Hug

A cartoon skeleton with a big round skull and wide glossy eyes leans over a carved pumpkin and hugs it close. The pumpkin has a curvy stem on top, slanted angry-looking eyes, a small triangle nose, and a wide toothy grin with a couple of little teeth poking up. The skeleton's ribs show on the right side, with one arm wrapped across the bottom of the pumpkin and bony fingers gripping the left edge. The skull has a lopsided smile, a few crack lines on the forehead, and clear shine spots in each eye. The lines are bold and the sections are fairly large, so it works well for younger kids with crayons or chunky markers. Try coloring the pumpkin in warm oranges with a darker shade in the grooves, then leave the bones white and use soft gray or cream for shadows. Save the glossy eyes for last and leave the little highlight dots uncolored so they sparkle.
